Stagg High has moved this week's football game against Edison to 2 p.m. Saturday on the Stagg campus, the school announced Monday.

The Delta Kings (2-5, 0-2 Tri-City Athletic League) were scheduled to play the Vikings (2-5, 1-1) on Friday at Chavez.

"We prefer to play it on campus," Stagg athletic director Tony Espinoza said. "Coach (Don) Norton and our football guys like having home-field advantage. To be able to move any games to our campus makes it convenient to our kids."

Stagg also has played some home games at Pacific's Stagg Memorial Stadium.

The Chavez football team went 3-0 against fellow Stockton Unified School District teams in its second varsity season.

The Titans (5-2, 0-1 San Joaquin Athletic Association) were outscored 158-6 last season against Edison, Franklin and Stagg. This season, they beat Stagg 42-13, Edison 27-24 and Franklin 35-28.

Linden senior quarterback Charlie Palmer set two school records in a 55-26 loss at Bret Harte. He threw for 365 yards on 24 completions, surpassing Joe Budiselich's 295-yard performance against Jackson in 1972 and Jeff Simonich's 20 completions in 1984.

St. Mary's will induct eight members into its hall of fame Wednesday at the Waterloo Gun and Bocci Club. A social hour begins at 6 p.m. and the induction is at 7 p.m.

The inductees are former major league baseball player Von Hayes, former Pacific football player Ken Castles, former Stagg coach Bob Chinchiolo, former Delta College water polo and swimming coach Larry Huiras, former Stanford football standout Ron Inge, former Pacific basketball and baseball player Rick Paulsen, St. Mary's basketball standout Ray Silvas Jr. and former Rams boys basketball coach Wayman Steed.

Lionel Scott, a 2002 Lodi graduate, is the second-leading rusher for Northern Arizona through seven games.

Scott, a senior who played two seasons at Delta College, has 88 carries for 641 yards and eight touchdowns for the Lumberjacks (5-3) and has caught 12 passes for 137 yards.
